Hoo, boy, I know the comments here are going to be a shitshow. And I’m not going to defend these medics.

So.... the settlements should be "whatever you fucking want", right?

So you’re 100% sure, so therefore they don’t get to make their own choice. You still don’t see that as incredibly patronizing and dishonest?

That is a shockingly good metric. 

You’d still be depriving her of the choice, and that’s rather the problem. “Oh, I was sure of what you’d do, so therefore I made the choice for you” is patronizing as fuck, especially when it’s about something big like “whether the relationship should continue”.

The deputy said someone called and reported Bynum appearing to spend a long time at houses in the area and appearing to be casing the neighborhood while on her phone.

Yeah, your anecdotal limited experience totes overwhelms my over-a-decade in EMS (eyeroll).

I didn’t miss your point, I disagreed with it by pointing something out.

She was going around the back door of the houses?

Fair enough, but the point is the kind of call you make.

Going high does not require niceties. I’m all for going high—i won’t attack, say, non participatory family-- not neither do I need to be nice. 

Fair enough, though I stand by my point (and you didn't argue it)

Eh, maybe the difference between a 6 sided and a twenty- sided?

It’s reminiscent of the defenses of predators, actually....... because honest mistakes *do* happen, but also shitty people live in and abuse the existence of grey areas in ways people who haven't experienced it can't usually quite "get"

Depending on hospitals and circumstances, not like super much.

Eh, laughing about fuckups isn’t unusual when there aren't like.... permanent consequences. Comedy=tragedy+time, after all

I feel like I'd laugh in the sense of... what a mistake I made!

Underwear is the defense against skidmarks of all kinds.

Perfectly reasonable!

To be fair, I absolutely would not, offhand, recognize my elected representative, or likely anyone who could claim that title, and I follow politics, and I know the headshots I’ve seen.
